It's been a great week for good writing

This is from a commenter on Michael Totten's blog:

For most of these anti-war liberals, it's not about what's right, it's about who's right.

That really is spot on. It's at the heart of the irrational rage on the left. They're bereft of power over the presidency or Congress and they can't stand being powerless, even if the Supreme Court is sliding slowly their way.

One of these days, a justice will just keel over, and we'll reap the whirlwind of the court's making itself into a third political branch of government. It will make the Bork and Thomas confirmation hearings look like beanbag.
